All those un-educated on the facts about drugs, should not be commentating at all, we want real provable info, not knee-jerk reactions from hypocrites who's activities are much more dangerous to themselves and others than that of a natural non toxic plant, keep drinking the junk your (lying corrupt, which is also common knowledge) politicians feed you, remember, they want to keep your pension, think about it, just for once.

Alcohol lobby groups usually spam and leave comments and lies to articles such as this, if the government was honest and fair, they would have to legalize marijuana over night, either that or ban alcohol, why can't people seem to understand the facts about alcohol and how it is a very toxic poisonous substance?, no excuse in this age of information, alcohol really is a nasty substance, it is both mentally and physically addictive, rots the brain, liver n kidneys, causes all sorts of cancers, is one of the only drugs in which you can die whilst withdrawing from it, ALL FACTS WHICH CAN BE EASILY FOUND ON ANY REPUTABLE MEDICAL SITE, I suppose its like any user, they hate hearing that their own drug of choice is more dangerous than most illegal drugs/herbs/plants.

i can't believe the ill-educated comments to this story, we have the usual, never research anything, alcohol drinking ignorant reactionary drones, saying such lies and fallacies such as "cannabis is dangerous and the more we learn the more its proved" or some such rubbish, this is a lie, even their own government scientists came back with the FACT that marijuana is not toxic UNLIKE TOXIC ALCOHOL, OR TOXIC CAR EXHAUST FUMES, the caps I thought were the right thing to do, seeing as most commentators are laughably ridiculous, I suppose its like shouting at these un-educated drones, FACTS ARE IN, MARIJUANA IS NOT TOXIC, BUT ALCOHOL IS, AND SO ARE YOUR EXHAUST FUMES, YES THATS RIGHT, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT IGNORANT HYPOCRITES, go and read a book.

Alcohol is toxic, Marijuana is not, FACT, everytime a person gets into their motor vehicle they run the risk of killing another motorist or indeed a non motorist (pedestrian), the exhaust fumes from the exhaust fumes are highly toxic and proven by the fact that some folk use such a thing to commit suicide, I bet this judge is both a alcohol drinker and motorist, which makes them a hypocrite, people hate having the facts that their own activities are more dangerous than that of a natural plant

Although I don't have an axe to grind either way on this, and although we all know tobacco is bad for the respiratory system, I find it astonishing that some people really genuinely believe inhaling it doesn't have the same harmful effects as smoking. It pretty much does, inhalation of any smoke just can't be good for you. Ok you can eat it, but you still have the pyscologic side effects that are well documented now. Maybe a medicinal only legalisation for certain ailments is the way forward?

Weed is a terrible thing,my brother used to smoke it all of the time and was getting quite ill through it's use,thankfully he managed to give it up but still suffers from paranoia attacks.As others have said it can/will leave people all but brain dead..
